YOUNG QB MAY FACE FSU

Duke Coach Carl Franks said sophomore D. Bryant likely will start at quarterback Saturday night when the winless Blue Devils play at Florida State. Bryant started in place of the injured senior Spencer Romine (concussion) against No. 5 Clemson two weeks ago and won praise from Franks after his 168-yard passing game.

GEORGIA'S HEDGES DAMAGED

When Georgia fans mobbed the field to celebrate a memorable victory over Tennessee, they also damaged one of college football's most hallowed traditions. The hedges that have surrounded Sanford Stadium since it opened in 1929 will be cut back to stubble after getting trampled Saturday.

Athletic Director Vince Dooley on Monday criticized those who took part in the postgame melee, which left one student seriously injured, a dozen others with minor injuries and the stadium itself with at least $70,000 in damage.

NAVY-ND TICKETS

As of Monday, 23,000 tickets remained for the Notre Dame-Navy game Saturday at the Citrus Bowl. A little more than 42,000 tickets have been sold, and the lower bowl has been sold out. Tickets still remain, however, for the end zones and corners ($35) and the upper sidelines ($45).

Tickets can be purchased by visiting TicketMaster or calling 407-839-3900, or at the day of the game at the stadium. They can also be purchased on the Web at www.fcsports.com
